For Port of Duqm, the agreement is very important as UES will bring substantial amount of expertise and services in a numerous fields which can help also other tenants in the Port and the wider Duqm area. The plot is strategically positioned in the heart of the Port and has close proximity to the Port’s logistical area, the Dry Dock and the commercial quay.

Recognized for HSE Excellence, its quality products and on-time delivery, UES has grown from strength since its inception in 1979.

Mr. Reggy Vermeulen, Chief Executive Officer of Port of Duqm stated that: “Port of Duqm is proud to support the MB Group as one of the major private investors in Duqm. Furthermore, this project is going on a short term to support the development of cutting edge technology and on the long term UES will be a major player in supporting the port of Duqm and its stakeholders with the state of the art technology and services”.

One of the remarkable projects UES is bringing to the Port of Duqm is the wet testing of 3 newly built and state-of-art Seafloor Production Tools from Nautilus Minerals Inc., a Canadian Registered company who has developed the equipment to be used for off shore deep sea mining activities. Nautilus is the first company to commercially explore the seafloor for massive sulphide systems (SMS), a potential source of high grade copper, gold, zinc and silver. Nautilus is developing a production system using existing technologies adapted from the offshore oil and gas industry, dredging and mining industries to enable the extraction of these high grade SMS systems on a commercial scale.

Our association with the port of Duqm will provide us the platform to develop cutting edge technology for the maritime, oil & gas sector in Oman”.

PDC has 3 major roles in Duqm, first the management and the terminal operation of the Port itself, secondly, the management of all logistic zone in the direct vicinity of the port. On a third aspect, PDC is also financing, developing, managing and marketing 2000ha of industrial and petrochemical zone. These zones enjoy an optimal integration with the Port of Duqm.
